two good sides, and good men and good
arguments on both Sides The measure

Obituary.

In devoted memory IF Lanier Williams, who
died April 2, 1887, fondly loved by all who
knew him. Though only FIVE years of age, he
was an example for all older one, in perfect
obedience, meek submission and gentle patience
during weeks OF great suffering. How CRATE
fully should we yield up this precious little
jewel, only lent US from above; our heavenly
Father knew when it was polished fit to adorn
the crown Of king, and that if we were allowed
to claim it longer it would tarnish all too soon.
So in his tender mercy and loving kindness he
desired to gather it among his jewels, leaving
the devoted ones at home the comfort of the
proud knowledge that the great King desired
to adopt this Christ-like child for his own. Up
to the last hour of his sickness, he would de-
clare, "I am better" when asked how he felt
and how much better he is, we can know but
family now.
May the comfort of Gods love more than fill
the bereavsd hearts till they say with glad re-
oicing. "The Lord hath given and the Lord
hath taken away, blessed be the name of the
Lord" A FRIEND.

The Cotton Movement.

The New York Financial Chronicle, IN
its review of the movement of the cotton
crop for the week ending September >,
says that the total receipts rcacleG 3d.
800 bales, against 9,270 bales last week,
9,G49 bales the previous week, aCd 7,270
], ,499 bales three weeks since; making
the total receipts since September !,
1887, 1853 bales, against l,7G3 bales
for the same period OF 1886, showing an
increase since September l, 1887, OF
1856 bales.
The exports for the week reach total
of 32,235 bales, Of which 80, 80 We're to
Great Britain, - to France, aad l, 16o
to the rest of the continent
The total visible supply OF cotton, as
made up by cable ard telegraph, foc the
week is as follows:
Total of Great Britain stock 5733, 900
bales, total of Continental stocks 81 2NO
bales-making total Of European stocks
of 924, 200 bales. The total visible sup
ply for the world is 1,2lS. sc. bales; Of
this number G15, ,461 are American and
6O3, 200 East Indian, &c.
The imports into Continental ports
for the week have been 10000 bales.
There is an increase in the cotton IN
sight of 121,3 ,370 bales as compared with
the same date of 1856, and an increase
of S0,425 bales as compared with the
corresponding date of 1855.
The receipts at interior towns for the
week have been 25, ,637 bales. The old
interior stocks have decreased during the
week 900 bales, and we're, Friday night,
10, 142 bales less than at the same period
last year.
The receipts from the plantations,
being the actual movement, not includ-
ing the overland receipts nor Southern
consumption, Of cotton that reached the
market through the outports for the
past week were 80, SIG bales.
OF future speculation, the Financial
Chronicle says: Except for an irregular
episode on Tuesday, connected with the
closing up of August contracts, the ten
dency of prices of cotton + " future de-
livery at this market has been upward
for the week under review. Unfavurable
crop accounts have been asserted and
reiterated with much pertinacity, and the
very small stocks in American markets,
together with the full figures at which
prices and transactions in cotton on the
spot have been maintained, gave credence
to report that an effort was being made
to 'scorner" September contracts. To
day an irregular opening was followed
by an advance on the repetition of uDfa-
vorable crop accounts, but decline was
caused by the free crop movement. Cot
ton on the spot has been quiet. Offer
ings were on very limited scale, except
of low grades, and odds and ends, for
which there was very little demand.
Quotations were advanced 1-l6c. on
Monday and &c. Thursday, with more
doing for home consumption. The mar
ket Friday closed quiet, at 1Oc. for mid
ding uplands.
